Runa's place smelled strongly of pumpkin, the raw scent of the freshly gutted fruit having a ROUGH time filtering out of the open windows. At least their scent was slightly masked by that of the seeds which had been BAKING inside the oven, the slight touch of cinnamon that had been sprinkled atop adding a light spice to the air. The seasons were strange in the city, Riku hardly having noticed that October was almost coming to a close already, but Runa wouldn't bid the month farewell empty handed.

"I'm not sure I'm doing this right." The silveret commented, having started to carve out a design of a bat, though it was turning out to look more like a... well... he didn't really know WHAT but it was definitely not what it was supposed to be. Giving the brunet a glance at his side, he gave pause as he took in the progress of her creation, mostly certainly surpassing his by MILES.

Riku began to laugh, finding his pumpkin to be absolutely ATROCIOUS.

"You make it look so easy." He complimented, still eying up his disaster of a pumpkin. "You've always been better at this sort of thing, though, so I shouldn't be surprise." Sea greens then grew warmer as they settled on her, his smile wide as it reflected just how much he was enjoying himself enjoying his time with her. "Yours looks amazing. Can't wait to see it finished."

It had been a while since she’s been able to carve out pumpkins, and like hell she was gonna let another fall season blaze by without her being able to do so again. So, Runa was especially happy to hear that Riku would be joining her.

A couple hours seem to fly by, and Runa had already started getting to work on what she wanted to carve, taking a marker to draw out the areas she needed to cut out. It wasn’t anything crazy, just a design of a sky with a moon and a couple stars. Along the bottom there’s a drawing of a small wolf, appearing to be howling at the moon.

The girl was so focused on getting this done, carving out the bits of her design, she almost barely noticed Riku saying something. She let out a giggle, taking a break to look over at what he was doing. A tilt of her head as she leaned over to look at the pumpkin more.

“It doesn’t look that bad—“ Runa commented. “I can see the wings, but.. hmmm…” She placed her hand on her chin, humming as she thought.

Runa didn’t notice that Riku was looking at her work at all, so when he let out a laugh, her eyes widened a bit and she looked back over at him.

“H-Huh—? O-Oh—!” She looked back over at her own pumpkin, leaning back into her spot and running a hand through her hair. “It’s nothing much really… I’m not done yet, so who knows if it’ll end up looking nice with the light in it! Besides, the only reason it’s easy is because I drew on it before I started carving—“ Runa feels her cheeks heat up as she turns her gaze from her pumpkin to Riku.

And at seeing that smile of his and those eyes that seemed twinkle in the light, Runa definitely could feel her face turn red. “Ah—Ahaha—!! I’m sure that it’ll be just fiiiine—!” She laughs nervously, quickly averting her eyes away from Riku’s before getting lost in them and back to his pumpkin.

“Ahem— Let’s seeee… What if we made the body here a little bit bigger?” The girl suggest, pointing to what she assumed was the body of the bat. “Maybe try carving out just a little bit at a time, that way we know when to stop?”
